Chapter 75: Disobedience to Mother-in-law
At this time, Aunt Lin put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, looked at the surrounding atmosphere and suddenly became a little embarrassed, and said: "Don't talk nonsense about you, this kind of thing is also nonsense that we outsiders moved to the table?" ”
Aunt Wang disagreed: "What is this, look around, which men with family backgrounds do not have three wives and four concubines!" Sister Huo, do you think what I said is right? ”
Huo Mu, who had been silent on the side, suddenly opened her mouth at this time, and she smiled kindly:
"Sister Lin is polite, everyone is an old acquaintance who has known each other for decades, there is nothing that cannot be said, in fact, what the aunt of the Wang family said is right, in this way, Liu Xi, a good girl, can she stay in our Huo family for the rest of her life?"
Yang Chunyan couldn't stand it anymore at this time, and the wine jug in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.
Everyone turned their eyes to Yang Chunyan, and Huo Mu was no exception, since the words had already been said about this, Huo Mu felt that if she didn't ask things clearly at this time, she wouldn't have such a good chance next time.
"Yan'er, come, come here, sit next to your mother." Huo Mu beckoned to Yang Chunyan, completely forgetting that there was a broken wine jug on the ground, and her tone was kind.
Yang Chunyan swallowed her saliva with difficulty, God knows how much she didn't want to sit next to Huo Mu now.
But there was no way, there were so many pairs of eyes staring at her around, Yang Chunyan could only walk to Huo Mu's side and sit down slowly.
Huo Mu held Yang Chunyan's hand, patted it gently, and said meaningfully:
"Speaking of which, among all of you here, I met Aunt Wang the earliest, so to put it a little partially, in the end, Aunt Wang knows me best."
The people around him smiled and didn't say anything.
Huo Mu turned her gaze to Yang Chunyan, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke:
"Yan'er, speaking of which, your aunt Wang's words have given me a clear way, you also know the situation of our family, although you and Yanshen are filial to me in every way, but no matter what, you two still have a grocery store outside to be busy with business, and I am very tired every day, and I can't wait for an old woman who can only eat at home and wait for death to have the face to call you over to talk to me......"
Speaking of this, Huo Mu's tone became a little choked, and the originally lively atmosphere of the banquet was like a large dark cloud hanging in the sky at this time, and everyone lowered their heads and did not speak, as if they thought of themselves.
Yang Chunyan looked at Huo's mother's tears and didn't look fake, she was also very guilty in her heart, saying that empty nesters are the most sensitive and need people to accompany them, Yang Chunyan understands these truths, but thinking that there is Huo Xiting at home, she put all her energy into the shop.
"Mother, don't be sad, it's all my fault, it's my lack of thoughtfulness that makes my mother so sad."
"Yan'er, my mother knows, you and Yanshen are also for this family, so my mother thought about it and thought of a way to get the best of both worlds."
Huo Mu's face changed, and when she said the end, there was a trace of excitement and excitement in her eyes.
Yang Chunyan seemed to have guessed something, and was about to speak, when Huo Mu continued:
"I looked at Miss Liu Xi very pitiful, there were no relatives in the family, and the most important thing was that I liked it, so I thought, just give Miss Liu Xi to Yanshen as a second room! In this way, won't Miss Liu Xi always stay in our Huo family? ”
"Mother! This must not be! When Yang Chunyan heard this, she was suddenly shocked and lost her mind, she stood up suddenly, and replied, scaring the people next to her half to death.
Huo's mother was a little unhappy on her face, Liu Xi lowered her head and sobbed softly again, and the aunt of the Wang family looked at Liu Xi and Huo's mother sadly, and couldn't help but interject:
"Daughter-in-law of the Huo family, what are you talking so loudly for, your mother is old, you must not make her angry anymore!"
Although Yang Chunyan was very disgusted with Aunt Wang's meddling, she still had to make a polite and polite appearance on her face: "Aunt Wang is right, I wrote it down." ”
"Yan'er, my mother wasted so much cowardice with you, why did you refute all what your mother said in just one sentence?" Huo Mu felt very unhappy when she saw Yang Chunyan like this.
Yang Chunyan forced herself to calm down, she sat down silently, and spoke:
"Mother, although the Huo family has some family background, life is not bad, even if the mother wants to find another confidant for Xianggong, then you can find some mediocre qualifications. Miss Liu Xi is both talented and beautiful, and asking her to come to our house to be a concubine is really wronged Miss Liu Xi. ”
Aunt Wang was not happy when she heard this, ignoring the stopping eyes of the people around her, and said: "What's wrong with this, I look at your family's good looks, and your Huo family's business is booming, why can't it be done?" ”
Yang Chunyan silently complained about Aunt Wang in her heart, but her face was still smiling:
"Aunt Wang, what I said just now is not that my family is not good enough, let alone that the Huo family is not good, but that Miss Liu Xi is too good, where can the Huo family find such an excellent girl to be a concubine? Aunt Wang, don't say anything as soon as you get drunk. ”
"Daughter-in-law of the Huo family, what you said is not right, you haven't even asked Miss Liu Xi yet, why don't you know if people are willing or not?" After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she immediately took Liu Xi's hand and asked:
"Good girl, tell someone quickly, what do you think? Do you really think that the Huo family is not worthy of you to marry in? ”
"Aunt Wang, this is a matter in other people's homes, so don't worry about those of us who are outsiders."
Seeing that Aunt Wang not only did not give up, but also intensified, she would definitely not give up if she didn't give up on this marriage.
"You won't understand my affection for the eldest sister of the Huo family, since this is what the eldest sister of the Huo family means, then of course I will do my best to match this family business! If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, but in this matter, I want to ask for clarity for the eldest sister of the Huo family! ”
Yang Chunyan secretly complained in her heart, it is also fate for her to have such a neighbor!
Liu Xi listened to everyone's words, and lowered his head all the time, and after a long time, he found that everyone's eyes were looking at him motionlessly, Liu Xi smiled shyly, and didn't say anything, just nodded solemnly.
"Look, I'm right! Liu Xi is a good girl, how can she have those thoughts! ”
Huo's mother also spoke at this time: "Don't worry Yan'er, in the future, Liu Xi will pass the door, you will still be a good daughter-in-law of your mother, speaking of which, there can be one more person in your room to take care of it, right?" ”
Yang Chunyan pursed her lips, she hadn't said anything yet? Listening to Huo Mu's words, it seems that things have already been decided?
Yang Chunyan shook her head again and again: "Mother, this matter is really a bit ridiculous, if Miss Liu Xi really enters the door, I'm afraid I don't know how much grievance she will suffer, we still ......."
"Sister!" can wait for Yang Chunyan to finish speaking, Liu Xi suddenly interrupted Yang Chunyan's words, and then, Liu Xi stood up from the chair, walked in front of Yang Chunyan, holding a cup of tea in his hand, under the surprised eyes of everyone, Liu Xi actually knelt in front of Yang Chunyan, raised the cup of tea in his hand above his head, and spoke:
"Sister, it is Liu Xi's third life to be able to live under the same roof with my sister, and I also invited my sister to be kind and drink my sister's tea, and we will be a family from now on."
Yang Chunyan was trembling with anger at this time, she now understood everything, all this was a bureau, a bureau discussed by Huo Mu, Aunt Wang and Liu Xi.
Looking at Liu Xi's weak and helpless appearance, Huo Mu couldn't help but speak, and there was a little pleading in her tone:
"Yan'er, Miss Liuxi, an unmarried girl, now she has given up her face and invited you to drink her tea, our Huo family has always been generous to others, you just listen to your mother's words and drink this tea from Liuxi."
Yang Chunyan's grievances were churning in her heart like a wave, she really drank tea, then Liu Xi was Huo Yanshen's concubine, not to mention that this method of forcing Yang Chunyan to agree was very disgusting to her.
Let's just say that Liu Xi herself, if she is really a pure person, even if Yang Chunyan is not suitable in her heart, she will not disobey Huo's mother's approach, but Liu Xi is not a good person at all, she is a wolf in sheep's clothing, maybe one day she will jump up and bite someone, such a person, even if she kills Yang Chunyan, she will never agree to let Liu Xi be Huo Yanshen's second room.
"Mother, I don't agree with this matter." After a series of struggles in her mind, Yang Chunyan slowly turned her head and spoke lightly.
After saying this, Yang Chunyan closed her eyes and prepared to meet the next stormy waves.
"You kid! Y-Why are you?! ”
Huo Muqi's words were not good, I originally thought that the most difficult part of this matter was to ask for it, Yang Chunyan would definitely agree, who knew that now, Yang Chunyan actually denied this matter.
Huo's mother has lived for such a long time, and she has seen a lot of young daughters-in-law Zhang Luo looking for concubines for her husband, it is Huo's mother herself, she had this idea when she was young, but at that time, the Huo family had no family background, and Huo Yanshen's father did not have this thought, so this matter was over.
"That's it, you kid, your mother-in-law is good enough for you, it stands to reason that this kind of thing only needs to be seen by the mother-in-law, and the matter can be opened up directly, and now your mother-in-law thinks about you and asks for your opinion, you don't know how to be grateful, how can you dare to disobey your mother-in-law?"
Aunt Wang was also stunned, this kind of thing that made her mother-in-law unable to get off the stage in front of so many people was the first time in her life that she had encountered it, which was really unheard of and unseen.
